Quite often in a team can meet people of different generations.In this case, there are both pluses and minuses.In older people - their own idea about the relationship, their views, their values rarely coincide with the views of young people.Therefore, they have certain difficulties in communication and work.
Older people often are sensitive to the fact that their leader an order under themselves. This is a very negative impact on the self-esteem of older people.The problem is that parents teach their children that wisdom and experience come only with age.In practice, today it turns out that the older generation is forced to obey the youngest.If the age difference is large enough, and he head of the good in the children, for example, the slave older, then the slave could be some irritability, it would be difficult to find a common language with the authorities, because it can not know in this case itshould communicate with authorities.Sometimes older people in this situation prefer to keep their distance from the heads by age much younger than themselves.
second, equally serious problem , - this belief that only older people are able to answer any question, because they have a great life experience. But in practice it turns out that they have to play the role of students, while their young leaders assume the role of teacher.For older people this seems unacceptable and at times perceived with hostility.It also happens that the older generation is not taken seriously his young officers, excluding those upstarts and dropout.
A yudyam older generation it is also difficult to accept the fact that their young colleagues can receive for equal work with them almost the same salary. older generation believes that their experience much more, and, consequently, their work should be judged better than the work of their younger colleagues, who have virtually no experience.Equal wages for equal young colleagues with senior colleagues work last seen in the shower somewhat painful.
Older people are much more difficult to cope with modern technology : computer, fax, copier, scanner.They are much more difficult to keep up with new technologies that increase the efficiency of the enterprise.Older people are not very comfortable to realize that they are somewhere seriously inferior to the young, grasping all on the fly.Young people have a better response: they are solving one problem, in parallel can easily think of a solution of the following problem.They can be much easier to find a solution to a particular issue, whereas older people often need a lot more time on it.
is therefore very important in the formation of the team to take into account the age of the staff to all feel comfortable.
